INTRODUCTION

KNOWING it to be the custom for the Junior Class to publish the Annual in most high-grade 
schools, we feel that a word of explanation is fitting with regard to the present edition. The 
three other classes thought they wanted a "finger in the pie," and so the Juniors allowed them 
to help bear the burdens and receive some of the glory in publishing this most delightful, 
entertaining, and novel (?) Year Book.

The editors have not considered themselves a board appointed to criticise and correct, but 
conceive it to be the function of an Annual to reflect the life of the school during the year, 
to foster an harmonious equilibrium of general good will, and a sturdy spirit of loyalty to 
its institution, and to effect a closer mutual sympathy among the component factors of the 
institution; and to this end have they directed their efforts.

We are aware that we cannot please everyone. Our aim has been to please the largest number, 
and if you find anything in this volume which does not suit your fastidious taste, please stop 
and consider whether you are in the majority or minority and how much you have aided the 
publication. It is our purpose also to-- roast everyone, and if you do not see your name under 
"Grinds and Jokes," look for it elsewhere; then if you cannot find it, just consider your case 
hopeless, and be assured that the only reason we left you out was that we could not get the 
fire hot enough or our grind-stone wheezed too much when we applied you to it. The ones most 
roasted are the most popular people in school.

Hoping this publication will merit at least a cursory (not curse) glance from you, and 
wishing for you, our fellow-student, the worst thing possible, the climax of success in school 
life-- that you may some day become the editor of your College Annual, we remain your humble, 
obedient, and much-abused (?) servants,
The Editors.

MISS ERMINE OWEN, for a number of years the head of the Department of History and Civics in 
the Normal, is now in charge of the Department of Elocution and Physical Culture. She does her 
work in a large hall on the third floor of the old building, which is well furnished with 
opera chairs and apparatus and decorated with pictures, flags, and statuary. The first half of 
each semester the work in Physical Culture consists of organic gymnastics according to the. 
German-American system; the last half of the semester to aesthetic physical drills according 
to the Delsarte System of Expression. The work in reading and voice culture the first half of 
each term is the vocal interpretation of short poems of the best American and English authors. 
The last half of the term is given to the study of some Shakesperean play. This is one of the 
most important departments of the school, as its purpose is culture in speech and action, the 
development of the imagination, the correcting of bad habits, the cultivation of individuality 
and the power of adequately interpreting the printed page. The teacher believes that the 
surest road to right speaking and acting is right thinking and feeling, and all her work is 
based on this principle.

LUTHER WINCHESTER, acting Professor of the Department of Agriculture, after spending two 
years in the Sikeston Academy, entered Central College, Fayette, Mo., in the fall of '94, but 
because of ill health he was soon forced to leave school and go West to recuperate. In the

remained until the spring of '98, when he returned home to take charge of the farm. He entered 
the College, of Agriculture again in the fall of 1900, where he remained until September, 1901, 
when he came to take charge of the departments of Botany and Agriculture in this Normal during 
the absence of the regular instructor, Miss Jackson. Mr. Winchester's thorough training in 
both theoretical and practical Agriculture, together with his varied and extensive experiences, 
enables him to bring into the class-room a large fund of material with which to illustrate the 
principles of his department.

MISS WINNIFRED BRYAN, Supervisor of Manual Training and Domestic Art, was born in Dansville,

MISS LEONE CASS BAER, teacher of Drawing and art editor of "The Echo," is an artist of 
native ability. Her excellence is to be attributed more to natural aptitude than to training, 
of which she has had comparatively little. Her work is stamped by originality and 
individuality. She spent four weeks in Art work in Chicago last spring and will spend this 
summer there also. This "winter she won first honor in a competitive contest given by the 
Crown Piano Company for the best drawing of their piano, receiving $50.00 and a very

CLASS HISTORY.

MUCH like the beginnings of many noted movements and the early life of many celebrated men, 
the infancy of the Senior Class is veiled in obscurity. As Minerva sprang full grown from the 
brain of Jupiter, so did this class burst suddenly upon the astonished and delighted gaze of 
the Faculty as the Sophomore Class of 1900. Those to whom the term "Sophomore" brings only 
visions of the Sophomore Classes of 1901-1902 can have no conception of the glory and renown 
which the term then carried with it. Such was our prestige, that a number of Juniors left 
their class to become members of ours, while the Freshmen wearily awaited the time when they, 
too, could answer to the illustrious title of Sophomore. The opening of the Junior year found 
the class much smaller, as the members had been eagerly sought by anxious school boards. The 
class grew steadily throughout the year, however, and one of the most pleasant social events 
of the year was the Junior reception given in May, 1901. But it is as Seniors that we first 
feel ourselves approaching our true level. Indeed, such is our admiration for the year's work 
that it is whispered a few of our number are taking it for the second time. The latter, 
however, is tradition, not history. One act of ours which received many favorable comments 
from students and Faculty was the conducting of chapel exercises on the Friday before the 
Christmas holidays, and the presentation to the School of a handsome portrait of Mr. Kirk. And 
now we must close the record. The true history of the Senior Class of 1902 is yet to be made-- 
and though our brightly colored fancies fade into dull realities, yet in his heart every 
Senior will cherish fond memories of our dear old Normal arid will ever be numbered among its 
most loyal supporters.

CLASS HISTORY.

UPON us falls the duty of writing the history of the Junior Class, and the question 
immediately arises, "How shall we relate the story?" The duty of the historian requires that 
we lay aside the mantle of dignity that now envelops us as Juniors and describe ourselves 
first as Freshmen, for we were Freshmen once, sad to relate; indeed, it is whispered that some 
of us were Freshmen twice, but that is not authentic.

The scene opens on a soft, sunny morning of September, 1899. Our members hailed from the 
four corners of this great Republic, one from far-off Pennsylvania, one from sunny Florida, 
while one from that land where rolls the mighty "Oregon." From the very external aspect of 
those pf us who were wandering through the building one would easily recognize us as Freshmen. 
If the expression on our faces was any index to our feelings, the observer might venture to 
remark that we were in a state of extreme trepidation lest we attract the attention of the 
haughty, boastful Sophomores. We were a large, green class. Indeed, our verdancy was so 
striking that even tne atmosphere was almost tinted by the reflection. According to 
long-established custom, we were welcomed to the school by a reception tendered us by the Y. 
W. and Y. M. C. A., which we attended with fear and trembling.

Finally the class met in secret session and was duly organized. Class yell and colors were 
decided upon, and now we began to feel that we were a more important factor. We were very 
loyal and patriotic, but not at all boisterous nor egotistical. Thus we timidly proceeded 
during the first few weeks of the year. But it was strange how soon we learned the ways of the 
school. Within a short time some of our number had learned to "cut" classes, talk about 
"Exam.," "Prof.," "Flunk," and "Frat." with the zeal of older students, while some even 
learned how to ride "ponies," but they are not with us now, for Freshmen who learn to use 
"ponies" never become Juniors. They advance backwards.

Our first year, however, was very prosperous, and we grew rapidly in knowledge and power. 
We worked hard to keep from flunking. We spent many weary days and sleepless nights in trying 
to conjugate "amo" and we fought round after round with the Binomial Theorem. We lost no time 
in impressing upon our instructors the immensity of our intellects. In Athletics we played a 
conspicuous part. We were very proud of our braves when they won fame and glory by defeating 
the Sophomores in a tug-of-war. Now our trials and tribulations as Freshmen were over, and 
although we had enlarged our bump of emulation, we were very far from becoming conceited, for 
we received our full quota of "flunks."

When we returned to the classic halls as full-fledged Sophomores, we possessed an air of 
ease and self-confidence in vivid contrast to that of the previous year. That ethereal quality, 
class loyalty, was manifested by all. Ours was the first yell to resound through the majestic 
trees of the Campus and startle the trembling Freshmen. Early in the year basket-ball and 
base-ball teams were organized. Victory followed victory. The most valiant deed was the utter 
routing of the Seniors in a game of ase-ball. But Athletics was not our only point of 
excellence. In mental activities we always took the lead. We found no 'ologies or 'isms of 
sufficient weight to forestall the overflowing of our effervescent craniums. In fact, the 
members of our class were so in demand by the school boards of the State (?) that many of 
them were persuaded to accept positions of honor and trust, and they are now upholding the 
dignity of our school by their superiority of discipline and method. As a result, the 
beginning of the present year found us few in number.

As Juniors we met with new responsibilities, but during the two previous years we 
accumulated so much wisdom and strength that we were well


(Page 43)

equipped to meet with all difficulties which might be encountered by us. In due time the 
class was regularly organized, officers elected, and all other preliminaries attended to, such 
as class colors and yell. We chose as President our most genial and jolly member, Mr. Johns. 
Our prospects this year were brighter than they had been any previous year. What we lacked in 
quantity we made up in quality. The Juniors ars a class that contains more knowledge and less 
conceit, more bright stars and less sports, than any other class in the Normal. In our 
laboratory experiences wonderful results are accomplished and great accuracy obtained. But it 
has required great effort and much self-denial on our part to meet with the requirements of 
our teacher of this department, for not even Juniors, with all their zeal and enthusiasm, can, 
without reluctance, deny themselves the sweetness of slumbering until the late hour of the 
morning each Saturday for the sake of getting more Chemistry.

But the result of our achievements is brought out vividly by the skillfulness with which we 
deal with the sines and cosines of Trigonometry. Indeed, the intellectual power manifested by 
this class is so great that Mr. Harvey marvels at its immensity (?).

In our endeavors to gain knowledge we have not neglected our social duties. We have always 
maintained a proud and superior position in society. We have within our number a Tall Bell who 
can sing like a Finch and Dance with such charming Grace, and whose Ruby lips are so 
bewitching, that even the Senior boys can but admit that "Plato himself had not surveyed 
unmoved such charms as she displayed."

As a Junior Class we are glad to say that in everything, which we have entered upon, peace 
and harmony have prevailed, and as summer is near at hand we will soon lay aside our books for 
a few weeks and our experiences as Juniors will remain only as memories of a happy and 
prosperous year among pleasant companions. When autumn calls us back again, may not one Link 
be missing from the golden chain which has been woven, but may every member return with 
renewed determination, and may we as Seniors never be found idle, but always pressing forward 
for the mark of the prize of the high calling as it is in Seniordom.

CLASS HISTORY.

INASMUCH as all great organizations are accustomed, for the enlightment and edification of 
mankind, to transmit a record of their noteworthy achievements, we feel in duty bound to 
submit to our contemporaries and to posterity a history of the Sophomore Class of 1902. One 
could hardly fail to guess, looking at our class picture, that we are Sophomores, with all the 
dignity, true worth, and ability that the name implies. So strongly is Minerva's stamp 
impressed upon our smiling, eager faces that the truth could scarcely be evaded. The Freshmen, 
thinking of the heights to which we have climbed, regard us in open-mouthed wonder, or murmur 
half unconsciously, "Oh, what must it be to be there!" Just for their consolation, we will lay 
aside our mantle of dignity and say, that we were not always Sophomores; we, too, were 
Freshmen once; indeed, it is whispered that some of us are Freshmen yet.

Where the class originated is a mystery. Some were evolved from "Model" girls and boys; 
many were formerly "deestrict skule teachers"; while a few were members of the Sophomore Class 
of 1901, but, through deference to the earnest request of the Faculty, postponed graduation 
until 1902. These heterogeneous elements have blended to form a class in which learning is at 
a discount and genius actually runs riot. In the early days of our Sophomore year there was 
issued a proclamation calling for a meeting of all Sophomores in "Room 20" for the purpose of 
class organization. On the day appointed many were the faces that greeted the presiding 
officer as he called the house to order. We possessed latent powers of organization, which 
soon manifested themselves in the elevation to the presidential chair of the most handsome 
young man in the Normal, L. R. Wescott. With such a true and worthy leader, how could our 
class be otherwise than a success? And truly it has been. From that time each Thursday 
afternoon we have enjoyed a very pleasant and profitable hour in class assembled. Our 
programmes have been of a very interesting character, and from time to time we enjoyed rare 
literary treats. One of the most pleasing features was a weekly issue of a newspaper entitled, 
The Sophomore Herald, which was edited each week by different members of the class.

Only too swiftly the few short months slipped by and we found ourselves at the beginning of 
our second semester's work. The class exercised excellent judgment in the unanimous 
re-election of our esteemed President, whose pleasing manner and true worth had won the 
confidence of all. Other officers of the class are no less deserving of mention. Our 
Vice-President, E. M. Sipple, needs no commendation from our pen. As class orator he speaks 
for himself. Of our beloved Secretary, Miss Damron, nothing can better express our 
appreciation than these lines from the poet:
"None know thee but to love thee;
None name thee but to praise."

Our Treasurer, R. B. Hodges, is indeed a young man of principle, who commands the respect 
of all. To whom else would we entrust the management of such vast sums of money? Last, but not 
least, comes our faithful Marshal, J. E. Burch, who is ever at his post, willingly performing 
every duty assigned him; he merits our praise. Under the management of this efficient corps of 
officers, the class has made decided progress during the past few months.

In Athletic circles we have been well represented. We have carried off many laurels at 
basket-ball and foot-ball, and the same is prophesied for the base-ball team. In our class 
work we rank with the most honorable Seniors, many of whom may be seen among us, clearing away 
all stumbling-blocks which impede their progress towards the longed-for goal. We feel that we 
have accomplished much, and if, after passing through this year of vast accumulation of 
knowl-


(Page 50)

edge, some of us discover that we do not know all things, we have the consolation of having 
forgotten many things which most people never learned. With this bit of self-comforting solace, 
we are ready to bid farewell to our Sophomore days and all that pertain to them. We have 
spent a very happy year, and one long to be remembered, for not in this Annual alone is our 
class history written. It is written on the minds and hearts of the students who constituted 
its membership. There it exists in all its glowing character, ineffaceable, truthful, eloquent, 
and through all advancing time shall still remain to remind us of that time when all things 
wore for us the beauty of the spring-tide of life.

SOPHOMORE VERSION OF THE PSALMS.

Blessed is the student that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly Freshmen, nor 
standeth in the way of Juniors, nor sitteth in the seat of the Seniors.

But his delight is in the way of the Sophomore, and in his way doth he meditate day and 
night.

And he shall lie like the tree planted by the lake of the Campus, that overshadoweth all 
the others.

For he is clothed with majesty, honor, and knowledge; his name was established of old, yea, 
it is everlasting.

The Freshmen have lifted up their heads, O ye Sophomores! They have lifted up their voices 
and said, WE ARE THE FRESHMEN.

But the Sophomores are mightier than all these, yea, than all this freshness.

Yet from these children there Cometh the cry, O Sophomores, hear our voice! Let thine ears 
be attentive to the voice of our supplication! If thou, O Sophomores, shouldst take a notion, 
O -- me! who should stand?

Freshmen, our hearts are not haughty, nor our eyes lofty, but we exercise ourselves in 
great matters; in things that shall be thine. Let all of you hope; let each member rejoice, 
for this shall be thine inheritance.

Walk about the building; even go round about her; tell the Sophomores thereof; mark ye well 
their graces; consider their ways, that ye may tell it to the class next following.

Why do ye Seniors rage, and ye Juniors imagine vain things? When you consider our 
superiority, the work of our genius, knowest thou not that we are little lower than the 
angels, and that our wings are already sprouting?

Out of this Normal cometh a voice and sayeth: Glorious things shall be spoken of thee. O 
Sophomores! In the Year Book will I make great mention of thee. That thou art great, thy 
wondrous


(Page 51)

works declare. On the page of the beautiful, many shall there be who are Sophomores. Page 
after page shall be illumined by illustrious names, and of those that stand out most prominent 
it shall be said, This one and that one are Sophomores.

Then lift up your heads, O ye Sophomores, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting Sophs, and 
wear a crown of glory evermore! Tremble, thou walls, at his mighty presence! Bow unto him, ye 
evergreens--Freshmen--ye pines and cedars! Burst ye into bloom, ye gladdening buds! Waft unto 
him thy perfume and sing unto him, ye southern zephyrs!

Ye Faculty shall see this and wonder; ye Juniors shall stand in awe; ye Seniors shall flee 
like rams, and ye little Freshies like lambs. Then we shall say, How happenest it, O thou 
Faculty, that thou wonderest? ye Juniors, that ye stood in awe? ye Seniors, that ye fled like 
rams, and ye little Freshies like lambs?

Have mercy upon us, O Faculty, have mercy upon us, lest we lose our health. Knowest thou 
not that it is vain to rise up early and to sit up late?

We know thou art most learned; we shall not want. Thou makest us to bear down on Geometry, 
thou drivest us into the library of History.

Thou makest us to dissect all kinds of bugs; thou pullest us into the rooms of the Training 
School, for its name's sake. Yea, though we stumble through the campaigns of Old Caesar, in 
thee we rejoice, O Sloyd, for thou art pleasant (?); thy saw and thy plane they do comfort (?) 
us.

Thou expectest us to write theme after theme, and to read in the presence of our enemies.

Thou presentest us with the skin of a sheep; our joy runneth over. Surely pen pictures and 
minor melodies shall follow us all the days of our lives, and we shall dwell in the Hall of 
Fame forever.

CLASS SONG.

Air: "The Kingdom Coming."

I.
Ho, Normals! have you seen a student
With a bright and happy face,
Go roving through these quaint old portals
With a stately Senior grace?
Many months well spent here at the Normal,
Where he'll spend some more I guess,
Make him a wise and merry member
Of the grand old Sophomore Class.

Chorus--
Oh, who are we? ha! ha!
Oh, who are you? ho! ho!
We're the Sophomore Class of the good old Normal,
We'd like to have you know!

II.
We know what 'tis to be a student
In the Kirksville Normal here;
We oft engage in basket-ball,
And we play it without fear;
Yes we like the fun as do the others,
But we like our school work too;
If you've any doubt, go read our records
And see that it is true.

Chorus--

III.
And soon a sheep-skin will be coming,
That will crown our labors past.
If the Seniors get one anything like it,
You'll never hear the last.
We know old Caesar to a letter,
And Geometry just so-so;
There's nothing at all that's worth the knowing
That Sophomores do not know.

Chorus-

MAUDE BON DURANT.

CLASS HISTORY.

REALIZING but too well how uninteresting class histories are, as a rule, to all except 
class members, we scarcely hope for many perusals of this brief sketch. But to those 
sympathizers whom chance may direct to these lines we will say that we hope the joys and 
sorrows of our present life may be appreciated.

Since the inauguration of the administration of President Kirk, the Freshman Classes have 
been well organized, meeting each Thursday afternoon for a short period, during which time 
programmes of good literary and social value have been attentively listened to and enjoyed by 
a large gathering of Freshmen. The work of the Freshman Class of this year has never been 
surpassed by any of its predecessors. The general consent at the beginning of the school year 
was that our class meetings should be held each Thursday afternoon, not only for literary 
purposes, but also for social development. Many of our classmates had for the first time 
bidden good-bye to home influences and had come to be and live as, so they considered it, 
"strange people in a strange land." But these feelings were soon dispelled by our short and 
entertaining programmes and the jolly, all-round handshakes which ensued after the programme 
had been rendered. Our programmes generally consisted not only of recitations, declamations, 
studies of the lives and works of literary men, and papers on the current topics, but they 
were also made up of some interesting debates upon important historical questions by able 
Freshmen, both young men and young women participating. We have taken the lead in a movement 
which has been sanctioned by the President of our school, and we hope that ere long the other 
class organizations will see wherein their young ladies are being deprived of benefits which 
should be theirs and arrange for them to engage in debates.

At the beginning of the second semester the Freshmen organized a basket-ball team. It was 
not long after this until we received a challenge from the Sophomores to play their worthy 
team. The challenge was accepted and the game was played. Challenge after challenge was issued 
and accepted by the two teams till at last the Sophomores, admitting that they were no longer 
hopeful of victory, declined to engage in another contest.

Our class has been a success in every respect. Our selection of class officers has been a 
most judicious one. It would have been difficult to have selected a more competent young man 
than our class President. He has always been honored and respected among his classmates, and 
by his upright bearing in all matters has served largely to bring forth this strong 
characteristic-- freshness-- in the body which he represents. The usual characteristic which was 
mentioned by the historian of the Freshman Class of last year is not lacking in the present 
class, for we have a large number of beautiful young women and homely young men. Two of our 
girls will appear on the page in this Year Book devoted to the twelve most beautiful young 
ladies in the school. We are Freshmen only in place, not in reality, and throughout the year 
we have well remembered that:

The heights (?) by Freshmen reached and kept
Are not attained in broad daylight;
But we, while other classmen slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.

PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY

PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY

WHEN in ages long since past, two significant words from the most flexible of languages 
were combined to form one word which characterized the students of that age, then came into 
existence that word which aptly belongs to the members of our Philomathean Society. The 
standard set by the Philos is but the standard which all lovers of learning would strive to 
reach. Situated in one of the most pleasant corners of the Normal building is the beautiful 
room which the Philos are fortunate enough to call their own. Here have struggled and shaken 
many of the men and women whom now the old Alma Mater is proud to number as former members.

When first organized in 1873 the Baldwin Institute undertook the work with the zeal and 
energy such as its founder could always infuse. In a short time, perhaps a year, the society 
assumed the name which it still retains. Though at first small, with some ten or twelve 
members, the society has grown each year as the former members have left, and at the present 
time has an enrollment of forty strong members, who are striving, as did those of yore, to 
keep the Philomathean Society the foremost one of the school. Useless, and indeed a task, it 
would be to name all its famous members. We need but head the list with some of its first 
members to establish at once a precedency. Our Superintendent of Schools, W. T. Carrington, 
Mr. Jamison, and Mr. Thomas are but examples of the characteristic Philo. Suffice it to say, 
we have our members of whom we are justly proud, and we have them by the score.

Programmes are given once a week, and "By their deeds shall ye know them." An interesting 
feature of the programmes at the present time is the unity of the subject for each evening's 
programme. Much strength and benefit has been derived from the practice of considering one 
subject in its different phases and going below the surface. Thus the primal objects are 
accomplished and shine aloft like stars. It is this spirit which will bring the Philos in the 
future to the front ranks to take the places of those who have in the past nobly done their 
part, for of the two score and ten medals that have been given in the school, nearly half of 
them have been won by Philos.

Forty abreast we now appear upon the field, and how can we but win with such a noble 
bearing voiced of deep pride and worth. Our ranks are strong with members of our basket-ball 
team, which has lately been organized. We are proud of our team and shall watch its progress 
with eager interest. Great credit is due our Presidents for this year, who have sustained our 
former prestige and have led the society on to its present success. These have been Mr. Heyd, 
Mr. Dickson, and Mr. Imbler, and our newly elected President, Mr. Sipple, who is sure to keep 
up the standard.

In future years, when our hall will rescund with the eloquent voices inspired by the sight 
of the busts of the illustrious Shakespeare and Mozart and the world trembles with the tread 
of our noblemen, then all the voices of the Philos blended with those who have seen, and 
heard, and appreciated true worth, shall cry out, as now we may with one accord, "Excelsior! 
Excelsior!"

SENIOR LITERARY SOCIETY.

FAR back in the seventies, in an old and renowned Normal of our State, an autumnal 
flower-garden was planned which was to send its riches of fragrance and beauty down through 
the ages, to help and strengthen all who came within its broad range, and to teach the great 
truths which lie hidden in the purity and beauty of the cultivated flower. The cultivation of 
years has only enriched this primitive garden and so fitted it to more ably send forth its 
sweet incense, until to-day the Senior Literary Society in the grandeur of its purpose is "As 
high as the throne of God, as deep as the ocean of truth, and as broad as humanity."

The individual flowers which, united in their great aim, attempt so much, are greatly 
varied in disposition and habitat. Indeed we have within our hall a representative of nearly 
all species of flowers, from the tall, awkward, and desolately lonely sunflower, whom we see 
in the person of Mr. King, to the small white rose, as personified by the fair, drooping head 
of Miss Watson. So also our flowers come from many different counties of our State, and even 
from other States. Mr. Sandry, our stiff and waxy yucca, grew up among the hills of Adair 
County. The blossoms (words and thoughts) of this flower hold together well, especially in 
debate.

Our somewhat faded and withered lilac was blown to us from the pasture-lands of Linn County 
and, though rather decrepit in his present shrivelled condition, we recognize a once strong 
incense-giver in our President, Mr. Powell. In our Daisy, Miss Morelock, we have a treasure 
which blossoms rarest in the field of elocution. As we consider the many human emotions and 
sympathies which flowers and vegetables have in common with humanity in general, we can best 
classify our list.

When you roamed through your garden last in that boisterous and insulting manner, how 
deeply the beets blushed, how bitterly the onions wept, and in what horrified astonishment the 
potatoes opened wide their eyes! These, as well as other emotions, belong to many of our 
flowers. The simplicity of the wild rose as it blossoms along the dear old country roadside, 
with its open, beauty-tinted petals, is only parallelled by the frank, old-fashioned sweetness 
of Miss Murray. The name "Wild Rose" applies still better when we think of "Cuddle Doon." The 
morning-glory, with its various tints and colors, spreading itself in the breezes of morning, 
but abruptly closing up before eventide and giving forth more by its beauty than its perfume, 
our censor, Miss Day, represents. Perhaps, however, she is, as the child remarked on seeing a 
half-blown flower, "just a-comin' into Glory." The little common prairie flower so well known 
by all is personified by Ernest Powell as he rears high his head and his countenance says: 
"Am I not a dandy lion"? "His greatest fault, I should say, was to be conscious of none."

Miss Wells, with her open, unselfish face and gentle disposition, earns for herself the 
title "heart's ease." And
"Of all the bonnie buds that blow
In fair or cloudy weather,
Of all the flowers that come and go
The full twelve months together,
This little purple pansy brings
Thoughts of the saddest, sweetest things."

Likest to the full-blown peony seems our Marshal, Mr. McClure. His is always "a face with 
gladness overspread." Mr. Arnold, the little flower which grew in the wheat, gets to visit 
Mills' more often than the rest of us. Miss Tall reminds us of the dark-eyed marguerites which 
blossom and give out their help in quiet and restful seclusion. Mingling with the flowers and 
shrubs of our garden is a sour but useful fruit, a Lemon.

To Mr. Gray belongs the name of fuchsia, as the natural outcome of his pompous splendor. 
Our pale and slender lily, characterized by its purity and fragrance, we know as Miss Bartlett. 
There is also a French flower among us, which, were it English, we should call either a 
coxcomb or a bachelor's button. Mr. Owen adds to our accomplishments in the personation of the 
small though beautiful verbena. Another flower blossoms among us which we must notice here. 
Mr. Derfler was one of the young men chosen to represent our Normal in the inter-normal 
debate with the Nebraskans this year, because
"The wonder still grew
That one small head could carry all he knew."

We think that in time, as men look up to the height of the position at which he has arisen, 
they will declare, with the man who exclaimed at seeing only one vegetable on the table, 
"Well, that beet 's all."


(Page 68)

There are others in our garden who, though they are not all forget-me-nots, I hope will 
consider themselves forgotten not tho their names do not appear here. The flowers just 
characterized serve to give some idea of the variety of our garden. Now to speak briefly of 
our cultivation during the year.

In September, when work began, there were not many flowers in our garden, but what there 
were were active, vigorous, and thriving plants. Our number has increased all year. At first 
our fertilizers were obtained promisciously from the great fields of Literature, Philosophy, 
Science, and History. Later we took our nourishment from the History field more exclusively. 
During this period we took up different ages of History, discussing the literature, science, 
art, educational development, and political history of the period.

Two-thirds of each evening meeting was devoted to this work, while the rest of the 
programme consisted of a debate on some modern question or a current-events discussion. It was 
during this period that we were greatly benefited by talks from several members of the Faculty. 
President Kirk at one time gave us a delightful address. At another time we revelled in the 
delights of an hour with Professor Harvey. One evening also the Violette mingled with us other 
less noted flowers, and left a lingering presence of helpfulness in the atmosphere which has 
never quite all left us.

After a while we began a new course of work along the line of individual history. The 
series, "Great Men of All Ages," was commenced and is yet to be completed. One evening is 
given to the commanders, another to the artists, et catera. Debates, orations, talks, 
readings, and music are still used in the development of our great purpose. We have endeavored, 
in selecting our work, to cover only those fields which are most nurturing in what they give.

It is our strong purpose to so direct our growth that by individual and united self-effort 
we may attain the highest possible development and culture, and, aided by the soft spring 
rains and gentle sunshine God has given us, send forth a greater fragrance to all. Our doors 
are open, our posies, tossed by each gentle breeze, are nodding and beckoning to any who may 
wish to enjoy with us the strength which such a purpose lends.

WEBSTERIAN DEBATING SOCIETY.

IT was April 9, 1899, that marked the beginning of a memorable period in the history of 
the Kirksville State Normal School, for on that day the Websterian Debating Society made its 
appearance as a full-fledged organization for the promotion of debate among young men. To 
the young man just coming from the farm it was indeed a long and daring step for him to 
affiliate himself with a regular school literary society. To one who had possibly never even 
taken part in a country literary gathering the dignified, scholarly, and critical audience of 
a Normal School was an obstacle to literary development that could not easily be surmounted. 
But with twenty or twenty-five earnest fellows who had the same high ambitions for literary 
and oratorical advancement, and possibly with less training than himself-- that was his chance, 
and he took it. The experiment was a success in actual development, popular from the start. 
In the joint debate with the Nebraska Normal, at Peru, last year, we furnished one of the 
three debaters, and in the joint debate with the same school we this year furnished two of 
the three regular debaters and two of the three coaches; these debaters and coaches being 
selected as the result of prelminary debates by a committse representing both Faculty and 
student body.

The programmes are given on Saturday nights, and many a stalwart fellow remembers his first 
night on debate. Probably he could call hogs half a mile without a quaver in his voice, but 
in his first speech he trembling stood up and manfully fought for two whole minutes his first 
battle in forensic debate. Possibly his enunciation and articulation would not pass muster in 
the Department of Elocution, but a few months later the same young man has agreeably surprised 
his friends by his ease, and perhaps eloquence, in public address. It is probably true that 
students of a normal school are peculiar in that there are few indeed who attend school two 
whole consecutive years. Although our full number (thirty-two) was on the records of the 
society the most of last year, yet when we reorganized our work this year only nine or ten 
old Websterians could be found. Thus the work was little different from that of organizing a 
new society altogether. We of course had a name and a constitution, but the latter was 
considerabiy changed. Mr. Frank Heyd, our first President this year, displayed much executive 
ability in finally getting the society on its feet.

The young men who composed the greater part of the Society were just as backward at first 
this year as they were the last, and the development of speakers this year was almost exactly 
similar to that of last year, except that different individuals were concerned. Next year's 
development of speakers will probably be similar to this, and any timid young fellow entering 
school need not hesitate in joining the Websterian Debating Society at the beginning of school, 
since there will be others enjoying his somewhat exciting predicament already struggling with 
problems of national existence as exhibited in debate.

Besidies the regular prepared debate, the extemporaneous debate is a prominent feature: In 
this the affirmative speaker is called to the floor and is then told the question which he is 
to discuss. It sesms like an awful plunge, but after a few lessons like that he is able to 
think on his feet-- a long step forward in successful public speaking. Another frequent feature 
of our meetings is the discussion of current events, and the subjects for debates are often 
derived from present-day history. Thus it is our aim not only to think, but to be able to 
discuss matters that are in the living present. In addition to this, papers on special 
subjects, discussions, music, etc., have formed a pleasing variety to the regular debate.

At the close of our second year's work we again find ourselves refusing admission to good, 
earnest young men bscause our constitutional limit has been reached. Our society has honestly 
earned the high regard in which it is held by the President and Faculty and the respect it 
commands among the students. Although we have only a history of two years behind us, yet in 
that time many of the strongest men in school have had their names upon our rolls and have 
gone out upon the arena of life better fitted for its responsibilities and possessed of that 
which text-book knowledge alone could not furnish. May the good work go on is the earnest hope 
of every loyal and ambitious Websterian.

CLAYTONIAN DEBATING CLUB

LESS than two years ago the Claytonian Debating Club had its beginning. This year has been 
a decidedly prosperous one. That interest which characterizes the success of any literary 
organization manifested itself from the very first. Strong young men have been sought after 
and made members all along until we now number thirty-three, the constitutional limit. Old 
members were back in sufficient number to lead the way and start the Club off without the 
preliminary lagging so apt to accompany re-organization. The membership ranges through the 
four classes of the school, but by far the greater per cent is from the Freshman and Sophomore 
Classes. Among those of the two above mentioned classes are to be found our best and most 
promising debaters. Of course, all these young men are just now in that sphere of college life 
where talent responding to opportunity has for them little less than a lifelong significance.

 The Junior and Senior members approach so nearly to unity in number as to afford no room 
for worthy comparison. However, one Royal Senior among us, Mr. H. T. Allen, is a debater whose 
talent along that line is universally recognized, which fact is exemplified by his being 
selected one of the three gladiators to withstand the onslaught from Nebraska. Another of our 
strong men, Mr. E. O. Jones, a Sophomore, figured conspicuously in the preliminary debates.

The Club meets every Friday evaning at 7:30 for a session of about two hours. Besides the 
two regular debates, a report on current happenings has proved a very helpful feature of the 
programmes. Frequently papers are prepared upon assigned subjects and followed by discussion. 
In these and similar ways programmes are varied, but at the same time kept in close touch with 
the chief purpose of the organization. To this end is recognized more than one avenue of 
approach. Notice of duty two weeks in advance is found to give, ample time for preparation. 
Problems that now most concern interests of the American people, as well as mankind in 
general, furnish themes for sound thought and able discussion in those of our debates wherein 
previous preparation is a part. Any violation of proper decorum may suffer reproof by 
personal mention. However, awkward and stumbling efforts always receive the kindliest 
consideration, and no one takes offense at kindly; criticism properly given.

Now that the Claytonians are about to disband for the summer vacation, some to seek the 
guidance of the inquisitive youth, others that place where they are ever welcome-- to respond 
to father's call at early dawn and battle with pesty weeds or ride the "Long Tom" over 
hallowed ground and think of the good commandments, it should seem fitting to cast about for 
some mental souvenir through which the "C. D. C." and-old "No. 4" might vividly appear in a 
retrospective view. For example, our diminutive President might be recalled by the noble front 
that bespoke no poverty. Then there is "E. O.," who ventured to suggest a cooling process for 
red-hot laws. "Acree" is that extemporaneous fellow with speeches laid away. Also our worthy 
"Vice" merits special notice for his close attention to official duties. That tact of Moore 
used in winning favor for the other candidate was something amazing to us less gifted ones. 
May the Claytonians as individuals and as an organization ever seek to exemplify the character 
of that peerless citizen and statesman from whom they derive their name.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

FOR two or three centuries there have been societies formed among young men for mutual 
help in living up to their ideals of Christian life and for influencing those who had formed 
no such ideals. The Young Men's Christian Association, as it exists to-day, was not formed, 
however, until Mr. George Williams, of St. Paul's Churchyard, London, influenced twelve young 
men to meet on June 6, 1844, and found a society "for improving the spiritual condition of 
young men engaged in the drapery and other trades." In 1845 a course of lectures which lasted 
for twenty years was inaugurated by this society, and its field and its methods broadened 
until branches and similar associations had been formed in all the Christian countries. Every 
Young Men's Christian Association now aims to own gymnasiums, libraries, amusement-rooms, 
reading-rooms, and class-rooms, besides its rooms for devotional meetings, and many of them 
have employed registers, restaurants, baths, or anything that the special conditions of a 
community may suggest as helpful to young men. The good influences that the Y. M. C. A. has 
had upon college men, miners, sailors, and railroad men can hardly be estimated.

Perhaps it can be said that the Association has done more for the railroad men than it has 
for any other class of men. The railroad branch of the Y. M. C. A. has become so (thoroughly 
fixed in the public mind as a part of railroad life in this section that noibody wants to talk 
it down, and it does net need to be talked up. In earlier days the railroad yard, and 
round-house, and freight-house were hardly decent places for young men to be. The railroad 
yard was populated, as it were, with hardy, strong, healthy young men, and was just the 
neighborhood for saloons. In these saloons were the pleasantest and most convenient places for 
rest and recreation. Philanthropic men tried to bring about a change by erecting buildings for 
railroad employees and establishing in connection therewith libraries, hospitals, rest-rooms 
and other things that would add to the comfort of men. These went on well for a while, and 
then failed. The Y. M. C. A. next began a work for the railroad men which will last to all 
eternity. It prepared a soil for implanting religious beliefs of the right kind, fitted men 
for right living, furnished nice, clean beds and rooms for them, and helped them view 
humanity from an unselfish standpoint. And now, notwithstanding the saloons in the railroad 
yards, there are also Y. M. C. A. buildings nicely furnished with bath-rooms, reading-rooms, 
harmless games, and other accommodations which are helpful to young men.

Besides the Railroad Y. M. C. A. there are two other branches-- the college men's 
Associations and the Association in the cities. The great upheavels in our large cities are 
simply evidences of their general conditions. These problems are nearly all of them problems 
that center around young men. The most difficult ones are those which the city Y. M. C. A. is 
attempting to solve. Viewing the city work for the year that has just closed, there are many 
points of encouragement. First, there has never been a year in which so many new buildings 
have been constructed. Besides the new buildings, many buildings have been enlarged and 
remodeled. It is also true that it has been a year of debt-raising on Association property. 
There now remain very few buildings heavily encumbered with debt. After the experience of the 
past ten years, it may be hoped that cities putting up buildings in the future will provide 
for the entire cost of the property. It is quite generally agreed upon by Association leaders 
that in the average city that attempts now to organize an Association a building should be 
built immediately.

Even as great as the material growth in our cities has been, probably the most encouraging 
point is the growth in the religious work. It has been strong, and manly, and healthy, and 
spiritual. There is a great increase in the number of men in Bible classes. Interest in the 
young men of other lands has deepened. These interests naturally bring about this result, 
namely-- that a larger number of men than ever are being won to Christ as a personal Savior. 
This year marks the greatest advance in that direction in the history of the movement in 
recent years. Much is being done in many places to reach working-men. The original idea, that 
the Association was to go where young men are, is again gaining ground. The successful work of 
at least one dozen cities in different parts of the country ought to lead every Secre-

tary in every manufacturing city to plan and execute some work for employees in 
manufacturing establishments.

The College Men's Association is reaching more young men than any other organization 
existing to-day. The Y. M. C. A. to-day is the leading factor in physical training; it has 
500 gymnasiums, 270 of which are in the colleges. There are enrolled in the gymnasiums of the 
Y. M. C. A. 100,000 men. Through their influence the Y. M. C. A. will have a decided effect 
upon the character of the race, giving to future generations stronger bodies and making better 
citizens.

The Bible class work that is being done among college Association men must not be 
overlooked. It is a significant fact that gymnasium Bible classes have been, and are 
continuing to be, the most effective Bible classes in the Association. The subjects in many 
of these classes are Bible characters with whom God was well pleased, such as Joseph and his 
noble revenge; Moses, leader and statesman; Gideon, the brave captain; David, the brave 
shepherd boy; David, the great king. The method is to tell the story of the man about whom 
they are studying in the teacher's own words. The teacher is as natural in this class as he 
is when talking to young fellows in his office or the locker-rocms, and the result is that 
every man feels entirely at home and feels free to ask questions or discuss Ihe lesson at any 
time. As heroic characters are chosen, the courageous side of the hero is dwelt upon for some 
length of time, and pointed out as an example and as a type of Christ. Besides the character 
study of these heroes, there are many other phases of the Bible discussed; for instance, the 
Apostles and the life of Christ. In the study of the life of Christ there are several things 
considered. He is studied as a teacher, preacher, as a man with a heroic spirit, as a mode] 
to whom young men may look, a self-sacrificing and unselfish young man, and, above all other 
attributes, as a young man whose life and thoughts were entirely pure.

The local Association was established in this school on March 3, 1896, through the agency 
of State Secretary Gordon. It was organized with thirty charter members, with Mr. J. W. 
Hatchner as its President.

The officers of the Y. M. C. A. are elected annually in April. Those who have served as 
Presidents of the Association are as follows: J. W. Hatchner, 1896; C. W. Murphy, 1896-7; 
O. H. Lind, 1897-98; J. A. De Tienne, 1898-99; S. W. Arnold, 1899-1900; T. M. Mitchell, 
1900-1901; C. T. Goodale, 1901-2.

The main purposes of the Kirksville Normal Y. M. C. A. are: to come in close touch with 
the young men of the school; to help them lead purer and nobler lives; to prepare good 
reading material for the reading-room, in order that young men may cultivate a love for good, 
wholesome reading; and to promote a spirit of sociability among the entire body of students, 
especially the students just entering school. In no way can some young men be reached except 
through the Y. M. C. A. Never before in the history of our Y. M. C. A. has there been such an 
abundant supply of magazines, daily newspapers, and other leading material to which every 
young man in this school has had access.

At the first meeting of the Normal Association, in September, 1901, it was found that but 
very few of the strongest members of the previous year had returned. Those who had returned 
were full of enthusiasm and had the burden of souls at heart. Standing committees were 
appointed by the President as soon as was possible, consisting of the following: the Social, 
Bible, Religious Meetings, Missionary, Membership, and Finance Committees. About the first 
thing that the young men did in the beginning of the school year was to meet students at the 
train, especially new students, and help them secure good homes. The new students were made 
to feel at home when they arrived at Kirksville through the kindness and sociability of the 
young men of the Y. M. C. A.

The work of the Social Committee during the year has been under the direction of L. R. 
Westcott. Two very successful socials were given; one at the opening of the year to the 
entire school, the other at the opening of the second semester to the young men, particularly 
the new students.

During the past year the supervision of the Bible study has been under Mr. Frank Heyd. The 
object of the Bible Class is to help young men acquaint themselves with the life of Christ and 
form a habit of daily Bible study. At the middle of the first semester three classes were 
organized, and while they were not very large, the meetings were deeply spiritual and the work 
very interesting. Two of these classes mentioned took up the life of Christ, and the work was 
conducted by Messrs. N. H. Randall and C. T. Goodale, while the other class, under Professor 
E. M. Violette, studied the Old Testament as a piece of literature.

The weekly devotional services of the Association are under the control of the Religious 
Meetings Committee, which provides a suitable leader for each meeting and selects subjects 
which are of a helpful and spiritual nature. The committee also provides for addresces by 
prominent resident and visiting speakers. A regular Y. M. C. A. quartette,

consisting of M. O. Brown, N. H. Randall, L. R. Westcott, and C. M. Miller, was organized 
at the beginning of the first semester by the chorister, N. H. Randall, and it has added much 
to the devotional meetings held each Sunday. It has been the primary aim to make the Sunday 
meetings purely informal and practical for the students, giving each one present an 
opportunity to take an active part.

Perhaps what added as much interest and benefit to the Sunday meetings as anything else 
were the talks given first by Mr. N. E. Williams, of Shelbina, on the subject, "The Practice 
of Law as a Life Profession"; second, by Professor H. Clay Harvey, on "Teaching as a Life 
Profession"; third, by Rev. Mr. Brownson, of the Baptist Church, on "The Ministry as a Life 
Profession." These talks were given on different dates during the winter, and the chief 
thoughts were how mucn good one can do in each profession, and also that one should choose 
his field of labor in accordance with his adaptability and God's plans for him. Mr. C. J. 
Goodding has had charge of this Religious Meetings Committee, and his untiring efforts and 
the good he has done in this department will never be blotted from the minds and hearts of 
the young men.

Prominent among the departments of the Y. M. C. A. is that of the membership work. It can 
hardly be estimated how much personal work must have been done during the past school year. 
When it is stated that at the very beginning of the first semester there were scarcely a 
dozen persevering-young men in the Association, and now there are nearly one hundred strong, 
active young fellows, surely it is a fact that the Membership Committee has done its work 
well and the Association has been remarkably prosperous and helpful. Mr. C. M. Miller has had 
charge of this committee and has always done his duty well. While it was the duty of the 
committee to get young men into the Association who would serve as active or associate 
members, we are proud to say that nearly all of our young men were active and ready at any 
time to work for the Christian cause.

But the history of the work of.our Y. M. C. A. this year would be incomplete without 
adding the work of the Missionary Committee. Christ has said, "Go ye into all the world and 
preach the Gospel to every creature, and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end." We can 
not conceive of a grander cause than to carry the Gospel to every land.

Mr. E. M. Dorsey has bad charge of this committee, and in each meeting questions of "How 
can I help the poor heathen?" seemed to permeate the very soul of each one present. China, 
India, and the Philippines were the chief subjects for discussion during the past year. These 
meetings were joint meetings of the two Associations and certain members of the two 
Associations were assigned different phases of the subject about which they were to talk. 
Good appropriate music was furnished each time by the quartettes of the two Associations, so 
that a missionary spirit was stirred up in the hearts of the young men and women.

For the past three years the Y. M. C. A.'s of the Normal and the American School of 
Osteopathy have jointly conducted a lecture course. The purpose is to bring the best lectures 
and entertainments within the reach of the entire student body each year, and incidentally to 
pay the running expenses of the Association, to maintain the reading-room, and to establish a 
fund to send our delegates to Lake Geneva. The numbers given this year were: "Bob Burdette," 
"The Wesleyan Male Quartette," "The Swiss Bell-Ringers," "Fred Emerson Brooks," the California 
poet, "De Witt Miller," and "Thomas Dixon." The course was well patronized and was a financial 
success. Those who missed this course of lectures and entertainments missed something that 
should come into the lives of all students.

The young men of the Normal Y. M. C. A. have for a few years past felt the need of more 
thorough work among the various committees of the Association and have been instrumental in 
sending strong, spiritual young fellows as delegates to Lake Geneva, Wis., for the purpose of 
receiving instruction along spiritual lines. The Lake Geneva Conference is held each year in 
the month of June, for ten days. J. M. Stelle was sent as a delegate to Lake Geneva from the 
Normal Y. M. C. A. last summer.

Another very important event in the history of the Normal Y. M. C. A. is in the fact that 
near the close of the first semester, through the earnest pleading of the College Secretary, 
J. S. Moore, and the careful economy of the Normal Y. M. C. A., seventeen energetic 
Christian young fellows, under the leadership of Professor Kirk, attended the Y. M. C. A. State 
Convention held at Columbia. This was an opportunity of a lifetime. While at Columbia the young 
men had the privilege of listening to such men as Carter Helm Jones, C. C. Michener, and D. O. 
Shelton. During this series of meetings, at one service 104 young men gave themselves to God.

Through the efforts of College Secretary Moore, our school sent five young people to the 
Student

Volunteer Convention at Toronto, Canada. The two delegates from our Association were Mr. 
Burch and Mr. Goodale. This convention was in session for four days and was attended by about 
3000 delegates. This was distinctly a missionary gathering and more than a hundred returned 
missionaries assisted in making the programme a success. At this meeting more than $75,000 was 
pledged for the cause of missions. All those who attended the convention were impressed with 
the importance of this great subject of Christian activity in a manner they will not soon 
forget. The meetings of the convention, the incidents of the trip, and the many places of 
interest in Toronto formed subjects for excellent reports at a joint meeting of the Y. M. and 
Y. W. C. A. on the Sunday following the return of our delegates.

At the beginning of the year the Y. M. C. A. determined to furnish standard literature to 
the school. Through the courtesy of the Philomathean Literary Society, the Association was 
given the use of the Society Hall as a Y. M. C. A. reading-room. Realizing the force for good 
in the Y. M. C. A., President Kirk presented to the Association Room 20 and the old 
Library-room as a permanent home and headquarters. It was soon seen that both rooms were 
greatly in need of repair, and scarcely had the rooms been granted when a meeting was called 
and a committee was appointed to act at once in securing men to repair the rooms. The walls 
of Room 20 were papered, the ceiling painted, a new floor put in and varnished nicely, and a 
general cleaning of both rooms was the result of this committee's work. The work having been 
completed, it was thought best that dedicatory services should be held and that the two rooms 
be dedicated to God. The Association was instrumental in securing State Secretary F. H. Burt 
and College Secretary J. S. Moore to take charge of the dedicatory services. The two rooms 
were dedicated Sunday, March 29, 1902, a day long to be remembered in the history of the 
Young Men's Christian Association of this school. It was found that there was a small 
indebtedness after the two rooms were repaired and enough money was raised at this time to 
pay off this indebtedness. At the close of this year the Association finds itself well on its 
feet financially, out of debt and money in the treasury, and has prospered in a way that it 
never has since the dawn of its first existence.

We believe that there has been seed sown in the Normal Young Men's Christian Association 
during the past year that will grow and be producing fruit as long as time shall last.

YOUNG WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.


(Page 89)

[photo caption]

Miss ROSE WELLS
Retiring President of the Y. W. C. A. and Delegate to Lake Geneva and Toronto.

THE name "Young Women's Christian Association" truly expresses the aim and purpose of the 
organization in the institution. It is the true friend of every young woman student. It is 
that factor in the school which reaches out to help her into a higher and better life. Its 
aim is to induce the young women students to become followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, to 
develop the spiritual life of the Christian students, and to lead these young women to devote 
their lives after college days are o'er to the active service of God, in their homes, in the 
Church, and in the foreign fields.

There are various ways and means of working in this student Christian life. At the opening 
of the school year, or at the beginning of a new term, the young women of the Association 
seek to give a warm Christian welcome to all new sister students. During these times a 
reception committee meets the trains, greets new students, aids them in finding desirable 
homes and in giving them any helpful information that they may need. In this way the young 
women have been able to brighten the lives of many students in the beginning of their school 
life, and have thus brought a real blessing to themselves, for the dear Savior, who hath 
humbly lived the perfect life of man, and who still lives and reigns in the hearts of so many 
lives, hath said: "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye did it unto 
Me." And it is written, "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have 
entertained angels unawares."

During the first week of this school year the Association gave two receptions, one for 
young women alone, the other a joint reception with the Y. M. C. A. The object of these 
receptions is to aid in developing a wide social and Christian feeling throughout the school. 
During the Thanksgiving vacation a pleasant, home-like reception was given to those who did 
not have the good fortune to spend Thanksgiving with their loved ones at home.

In no preceding year has the Association been

(Page 91)

favored with so many temporal blessings which have aided very much in the interest of the 
work. Through the kindness of the President of the school, and through the efforts of his 
daughter, Miss Elsa, who has been so great a substantial aid to the Association throughout 
the year, and other friends and members of the Association living in the city, one of the 
small Library-rooms was very cozily furnished for its temporary use during the first part of 
the school. However, the members had higher hopes, and these were realized on the 25th of 
December, when the Board of Regents presented to them, as a Christmas present, one of the 
choice rooms of the new building. This room, which is on the third floor and in the northwest 
corner of the building, has been beautifully and comfortably furnished and is now the pride 
of the Y. W. C. A. Though this is only a temporal blessing, yet it is our home in the school 
in which the vital principles of the Association may better develop.

The highest purpose and vital part of the Association lies in its spiritual life and work. 
Every young woman is urged to unite with the organization; if she is a Christian, that the 
spiritual germ of her life may have an opportunity of living and growing in a healthful 
Christian environment, and of developing into a pure, true life; if she is not a Christian, 
that she may be won to Christ through the influence of her surroundings. Believing that the 
spiritual part of life is the true life, and that the few days spent within the walls of 
learning are a marked part in the greater school of life, through which all are passing, the 
Association seeks to have every young woman value this as of the first and highest importance 
in her growth. For the purpose of aiding this growth two Bible classes were organized near 
the opening of school, one in the study of "The Life of Christ," the other in the study of 
"The Acts and the Epistles." The former, which has an enrollment of thirty-five, is taught by 
Rev. W. L. Darby, pastor of the C. P. Church of this city; the latter, which has an 
enrollment of ten, is taught by Miss Owen, professor of Elocution in the school. These 
classes have been truly blessed by having such able leaders.

Regular devotional meetings of the Association are held each Sunday afternoon. The meetings 
are for the praise and worship of God, and for the discussion of some topic that bears on the 
religious life; also a very short praise and prayer service is held each school day at the 
noon hour. On one Sunday afternoon of each month the Y. W. C. A. meets jointly with the Y. M. 
C. A. for the purpose of discussing missionary topics. In this way the Association tends to 
cultivate the missionary spirit, which is in the heart of every true Christian who remembers 
the great mission that is given to them by the Christ, who said, "Go ye into all the world, 
and preach the Gospel to every creature, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I 
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Through 
the efforts of the Y. W. C. A., the school sent three young women, Misses Wells, Reger, and 
Mathews, as delegates to the Student Volunteer Convention held at Toronto, Canada, in 
February. It is hoped that the inspiration gained by the Association through the spirit of 
these delegates may work great good in the cause of the world's redemption.

Twice during the year the Association has been visited by its State Secretary, Miss 
Constance MacCorkle. These visits are always looked forward to with much hope and pleasure by 
the members and truly many have received rich spiritual blessings from them. Last year the 
Y. W. C. A. sent one delegate, its President, Miss Rose Wells, to the annual Summer Convention 
held at Geneva, Wis. Through her efforts, as leader, the organization has made marked 
advancement. This year several delegates will be sent to: the convention at Geneva and it is 
hoped that the growth of the work during the coming year may be the means of bringing many 
sheaves into the Master's Kingdom.

PROHIBITION LEAGUE.

Secretary, MINNIE B. STATEN.
Vice-President, E. M. DORSEY.
Treasurer, C. K. DICKSON.

CHARLES M. HAY, one of the organizers for the Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Association, 
was in Kirksville Sunday, November 10, and delivered at the First M. E. Church a very strong 
and eloquent plea for Prohibition. On Monday Mr. Hay visited the Normal and organized a 
Prohibition League with the following members:
Bartlett, Hettie.
Blurton, Leoti Estelle.
Dorsey, E. M.
Dickson, C. E.
Hodges, R. B.
Harrison. C. B.
Jones, E. O.
Nickell, B. F.
Sandry, W. J.
Staten, Minnie B.
Wells, W. M.

During the year the following members were added to the above list:
Beck, R. L.
Jones, Mrs. E. O.
Cable, Leona.
Sipple, E. M.

The Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Association is a united Prohibition organization in the 
various colleges of the United States. Its purpose is to secure a more systematic and 
aggressive campaign against the legalized saloon of this land. The chief purpose of the local 
League is to study the vital questions of this moral and political reform, made necessary by 
the strong hold that the liquor traffic has upon society and the nation. No conscientious 
young man or young woman can remain indifferent to these problems after having given a few 
months' study to the principles of political economy, which irrevocably condemn the entire 
business. The financial phase of the liquor question, aside from its moral, ethical, and 
religious aspects, is ably presented in a book entitled "Wealth and Waste," being now used by 
the members of the League as a text-book for the study of this paramount problem, which is 
forcing itself upon the American people for solution. In addition to the weekly meetings for 
study, a general programme is rendered each month, consisting of articles and poems from the 
pens of the ablest thinkers in this important movement.

The State and the National Associations conduct each year a number of oratorical contests. 
The contest in Missouri was held at Parkville, April 11; the National Contest at Lincoln, 
Nebraska, June 3 and 4. The local League will make a strong effort next year to have a good 
representation at the State contest.

It is expected by the members that a zealous organization will be developed among the 
students who come to Kirksville next year, and that the Prohibition League will be one of the 
potent factors in the preparation of young men and young women for lives of unselfish 
devotion to the best interests of humanity.

SOME ITEMS OF HISTORY.
The State Normal School of the First District was created by an act of the Legislature in 
1870. It was opened as a State institution January 2, 1871. Adair County voted $100,000.00 to 
secure the location of the school. The present building and grounds cost a sum total of about 
$200,000.00.

Dr. Joseph Baldwin was the first President. He resigned in 1878 to become President of the 
Texas State Normal School and left that institution for the chair of Pedagogy at the Texas 
University in 1888. This position he held for ten years. He was then made emeritus professor 
of Pedagogy of the Texas University, which position he held at the time of his death in 
January, 1899. Dr. Baldwin was one of the most popular and widely known educational lecturers 
in the United States. Unlike most men, he continued to be a diligent student and improved in 
thought-power, linguistic attainments, and eloquence almost to the day of his death. Two 
others now living were associated with Dr. Baldwin in the establishment of this Normal School. 
They are the venerable W. P. Nason, now living in Kirksville, and the versatile and brilliant 
James M. Greenwood, for the past twenty-six years the popular and successful Superintendent of 
the Kansas City Public Schools. Hon. S. M. Pickler, now a member of the Board of Regents, was 
one of the early graduates of the institution and for several years a member of the Faculty. 
After the resignation of Dr. Baldwin, Professor Nason was for one year the acting President. 
Perhaps the most brilliant among those associated with the institution was its second 
President, Dr. J. P. Blanton, now of San Francisco, California. One of the most genial, 
affable, and popular men associated with the institution was its second President, Dr. W. D. 
Dobson, soon to graduate from the American School of Osteopathy, in which he has been a 
student for two years.

The most active and aggressive advocate of appealing to the many-sidedness of human nature 
through art, literature, manual training, and all the various other educational agencies is 
the fifth President, Hon. John R. Kirk, a man of words and of actions, who, to use a 
characteristic phrase of his own, "gets things done."

A great majority of the graduates of this institution become teachers and continue in the 
profession. Some, however, have left teaching and become distinguished in other professions. 
By way of illustration, we may mention one or two from each class:

a student at the Normal in the sixties. After teaching in Missouri a number of years, he 
moved to California, where he has now reached the top in educational circles.

His administration of the important office of State School Superintendent has been marked 
by great industry and zeal. He has written many articles for the press and educational 
magazines, and, though not an orator, has delivered hundreds of addresses and lectures, and 
his life and acts are indelibly stamped upon the work of public education in the Golden State. 
But Supt. Kirk has never forgotten his native State, Missouri, nor has he ceased to cherish a 
fond recollection of the old Normal at Kirksville.

PRESENTATION SPEECH OF MISS MAUD KENNEN,
Normal Chapel, Friday Morning, December 20th
Seniors Conducting the Exercises.

As the President off on the railroad must go,
We upon him this carbolic acid bestow.
If he'll use it discreetly, as he's sure to do,
He will vanquish all germs--fellow-passengers too.

From bitter experience, most sad to relate,
We know how hard 'tis to get here at eight.
With this problem Miss Parrish no longer need strive,
This alarm clock will waken her promptly at five.

Kind fortune has favored Mr. Violette so,
That little remains for the class to bestow.
There's but one secret grief he has to endure,
But this will be banished by Hall's Hair Renewer.

You never would guess it, but when staid Mr. Vaughn
Goes to see 'em play foot-ball, his dignity's gone;,br>
He yells till he's hoarse; you should just hear his tone,
So we send him a foot-ball to have for his own.

Man insists, though it may be from truth he departs,
That "taffy" is dear to most feminine hearts;
In the hope that in this case the saying is true,
We present a whole boxful, Miss Owen, to you.

Though "Ben Pitts" is often presented with ink,
Prom the looks of their note-books the students all think
He has surely exhausted his once plenteous store,
So, with heartiest greeting, they send him some more.

Mr. Settle's was harder, and finally resulted
In the wife of his bosom being privately consulted.
"Oh, give him a plaything," she said with a groan;
"Then maybe he'll leave our poor baby alone."

To our teacher in Physics this package is given;
It contains the best soothing syrup known under heaven.
Now if he'll use it as he thinks is best,
'Twill bring him some nights of calm, unbroken rest.

We give to Miss Hall this floral design,
Of fragrance most rare and of beauty divine.
We know she will cherish it; we did not forget
To purchase her favorite flower, the ViOlette.

Mr. Winchester's students have been heard to say
That "the apple's" his theme, both by night and by day.
If he likes it in theory, then we'll suppose
He likes the "real thing" he will find here enclosed.

Mr. Harvey has told us with grief in his tone
That nothing is pleasant when one is alone.
He is troubled with bashfulness, every one knows,
So we send him an essay on "How to Propose."

'Twas a Senior young man who was sent to the store,
And after examining presents galore,
Declared for Miss Bryan he saw nothing meet,
Save a box full of candy with "sweets to the Sweet."

Though he tries to be humble, 'tis easy to see
Mr. Daugherty is proud of his big "Ph.D."
On these cards see his name, magic letters and all;
May they gladden his heart when he's out for a call.

To Miss Prewitt this volume of poetry goes,
Why--the reason is plain, because everyone knows
She's so sweet and so modest, free from envy and strife,
That just one perfect poem has been her whole life.

Miss Tinkham is given one perfect pink rose;
The reason, we think, isn't hard to suppose:
Though we're saying this neither for power nor pelf,
She's really quite like a rosebud herself.

IF YOU DON'T WATCH OUT.

I.
When you're loafin' all about the town and havin' lots of fun--
A chewin' and a smokin' as if your time had come,
You'd better get your lessons and be kinder lookin' out,
Er the Prof.'s gwine to flunk you if you don't watch out.

II.
When you're stayin' out of Chapel not zactly just fer fun--
But to finish up an essay that had orter long been done,
You'd better watch your corners and keep kinder lookin' out,
Er the janitor 'll git you if you don't watch out.

III.
When you're actin' like you owned the earth just 'cause you've got a girl--
A courtin', and a dancin', and makin' life a whirl,
You'd better act more humble and be kinder lookin' out,
Er the girl 'll turn you over if you don't watch out.

GUESS WHO?
The only girl in the Normal who did not expect to be numbered among the "Twelve Beauties."

On request for a word of greeting to "Echo" readers, Mr. Weatherly sends the following:

"10 Cleveland St., Cambridge, Mass.,
March 31, 1902.
"My dear Mr. Stelle,-- I am very much indebted to the Senior Class of 1902 and the Senior 
Class of 1901 for help and sympathy during the year 1900-1901. They made it an exceedingly 
pleasant year for me. I am especially interested in the members of these two classes, and I 
wish the best there is in life for each of them. I cannot forget to mention the Class of 1900. 
They helped me in a great degree. Without their cooperation my efforts would have been of 
little avail. I am interested in the success of the Normal School graduates. The success of 
the Normal School depends in the main upon the success of her graduates.
"Yours very truly, J. E. Weatherly."

QUERIES.

1. Why is Miss Eunice an important factor of evolution? She is the last Link.

2. What is the difference between a mouse and a young lady?
"One harms the cheese
And the other charms the hes."

3. What is the melancholy part of Frazier's shoes? The size.

4. Why do the singers in music often catch cold? Because the "air" is too fresh.

5. "I am pretty and sweet,
Modest and neat;
I am flesh and bones,
Still only a shell.
You all see me every day;
Still everybody throws me away." Hull.

"Chicago" is synonymous to progress and success. In naming their typewriter after the great Western 
metropolis the manufacturers of "The Chicago" have added emphasis to this interpretation of the word 
by solving a question which has long puzzled the business world--viz., How can a strictly first-class 
typewriter be manufactured and marketed at a reasonable price? The solution of the question was in 
their economical and improved methods of manufacturing and selling. "The Chicago" has as much right 
to be sold for $100 as any typewriter on the market, for it is as good as the best. It is 
a rare combination of maximum quality with minimum price. Ever since "The Chicago" made its first bow 
to the public, the manufacturers have been sorely taxed to keep the supply equal to the demand, which 
speaks volumes for the sterling quality of the machine."The Chicago" is sold for $35, and is manufactured 
by the Chicago Writing Machine Company, 203 Wendell Street, Chicago, Ill., U.S.A.

WHY ARE GRAND RAPIDS DESKS THE BEST?

BEST material only is used. Best labor employed.
EVERY part is closely inspected before leaving the factory.
COMPETITORS praise their own desks by describing them as "equal to the Grand Rapids." Grand Rapids is 
the standard of merit. 
ALL devices used are the result of years of careful thought of the best minds engaged in the business.
UNEQUALLED facilities enable the manufacturers to produce desks not possible to produce with inferior 
facilities.
SUPREME in originality. Alone in progress. Next year competitors will adopt what Grand Rapids 
discarded last year.
EVERY desk sold is in every respect equal to every representation made, and every desk made is 
in every respect the best that skill, experience and money can produce.

BECAUSE
the people controlling THE GRAND RAPIDS SCHOOL FURNITURE WORKS are people whose lives have been spent 
in the manufacture of school furniture and whose every thought, sleeping and waking, is the 
improvement of school desks.

DO YOU WONDER AT THE FAME AND POPULARITY OF GRAND RAPIDS DESKS?

The wonder is that school boards will ever think of buying inferior desks when for about the 
same money they can buy the time-tried perfect GRAND RAPIDS.
